Now, with MSS for OBJECTS on AS/400, the most robust package of ERP solutions specifically for Tier 3 organizations resides within the Internet-capable IBM AS/400e series. Enhancements to AS/400 including new 64-bit processors in every model make the server even more effective for exploiting the power of PCs and the Internet, while managing complex technologies more easily and cost-efficiently.
MSS for OBJECTS on AS/400 is the first Tier 3 ERP package that takes advantage of a server consolidation solution that runs Windows NT Server and an AS/400 server in a single system footprint. Integrated Netfinity Server, a plug-in card, also makes MSS for OBJECTS on AS/400 a complete NT-based ERP solution for large companies seeking to centralize management of distributed databases. A single AS/400 can support up to 16 Windows NT servers.
AS/400 with Windows NT Server: Consolidated Server Solution
The Integrated Netfinity Server for AS/400 card plugs into AS/400e or other 64-bit RISC-based AS/400s, enabling users to run Windows NT Server within a single system footprint. As a result, organizations running NT-based productivity applications retain AS/400 traditions of reliability, continuous availability, serviceability and hardware that can be field upgraded.
Meanwhile, the new entry level-priced e-server 170 is particularly well suited to small- and mid-sized manufacturers because it uses the same 64-bit processor as the largest AS/400 systems. With the e-server 170, manufacturers can consolidate business-critical applications currently running on separate servers onto one secure server. Back office and personal productivity applications can also be consolidated onto the same server.
